Microsoft has released the Xbox system update for November 16, and this lets gamers connect their Discord voice channels from your Xbox console and more! There’s a ton of info to chew on, so go read the official Xbox update patch notes for November below.

Xbox System Update for November 16 Patch Notes:

OS version: 10.0.22621.2858

Connect to your Discord voice channels from your Xbox console

It’s now even easier to chat with Discord friends across mobile, console, and Windows devices. When your Discord account is linked to Xbox, you can join voice channels from your Discord servers directly from your Xbox console. To try it, open the guide, scroll to Parties & chats, and select Discord. Then scroll through your available Discord servers and pick a voice channel. You’ll see a preview of your friends who are in a Discord server and channel before you join.

Noise suppression in Discord Voice on Xbox Series X|S

Noise suppression has been activated to produce even clearer audio when you connect to Discord Voice on Xbox Series X|S consoles. This functionality blocks background noises such as barking dogs and clicking keyboards while continuing to clearly transmit your voice. If you prefer your audio unfiltered, you can turn it off in the Discord call options section.

Wish list gifting and sale notifications – Microsoft Store on Xbox

Gifting from your wish list just got easier this holiday. When you share your Xbox wish list from your console or xbox.com with family and friends, they’ll receive a notification to check out the list. They can then choose an item to Buy as gift and have it sent to you, and they’ll receive a notification once it’s delivered.
New preferences for Store notifications have also been added. In Settings > Preferences > Store notifications, you can decide whether you want to see notifications in the guide.
The new wish list notification will pop up in the guide and as part of your notifications to let you know when your wish list games go on sale and amount of the discount.

New integrated Captures app for your gaming moments

We’ve added a new Captures app to your Xbox that offers improved viewing, management, and editing of your game captures. You can find it in the Capture & share tab of the guide, as well as in My games & apps. With the app, you can also copy your game clips and screenshots directly to an external drive. And for better playback quality, Xbox Series X|S consoles now provide an increased bit rate for game clips captured in 720p and 1080p.

Enhanced power options and customization

More detailed information about about Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One console power usage is now available. Under Settings > General > Power options, you can compare the power use of your console in either Shutdown (energy saving) or Sleep mode to help you decide what works best for you. New Xbox Series X|S consoles default to Shutdown (energy saving) mode, which you can change anytime in Settings.

We’ve also added the ability to further customize your power options, including the ability to turn off the console after a specified period of inactivity.

Live stream with Twitch, Lightstream, and Streamlabs Studio from your Xbox console

You can now start your live stream directly from your Xbox console with Twitch, Lightstream, and Streamlabs. To get started, open the guide and go to Capture & share > Live streaming > More options. Then scroll down to Destination to stream by using any of these live streaming apps. With the newly integrated streaming experiences, the Twitch app on Xbox consoles is now dedicated to viewing only.

Recommendations in Settings

We’ve added a new Recommendations section in Settings with a summary of actions that you can take to get the most out of your Xbox. Recommendations vary between consoles and accounts based on your current settings. For example, a recommendation to “Set up your audio” will help you play your media to its highest potential.

Xbox Assist redesigned as Xbox Support

Xbox Assist, your source for help content in your console, has a new name – Xbox Support. We’ve updated the design and articles are now scrollable. You can also navigate help articles more easily, manage your subscriptions, view your order history, check your account settings, and monitor any active enforcement actions from your account on the Xbox Support app home page.

Updates to the Events app

It’s easier than ever to watch your favorite game events from your console. You’ll now see events labeled with different badges so that you can quickly find the events you want to join. To watch a live stream directly from your console, simply select Watch to view the stream from Twitch or YouTube.

That’s about it. Once a new Xbox system update is released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
